Thanks for shipping the stuff Zak!
The GS deck Donald made for Steve Collins is sleek & sexy-- grey camo! It matches my helmet.... I may have to keep it!
Steve, I'll ship it to you by the end of the season!
I can't wait to get home toinght and try out my new GOG front adjustable proto!
Thanks to Frank, Donald & all the crazy Germans.
P.S. Eddy...... Uncle Cuddles scares me!

Hearing about your session made me envious.

Hey guys.
Today, COSS had one of the most epic sessions ever. Barker, Fluitt, Pirnack, Pappas, Myself, Martin Reaves, and Joe Mac were all present. We also all got to test out our new Pavel/G.O.G. toys.
First, the Inteliflex:
One word: Incredible. I had never ridden a flexy board before today, and I don't think I'll ever be able to go back. The concave kept me completely locked in and It was stiff when I wanted to double pump. But when I wanted that drive, it took off like a rocket! Pirnack felt the same way bout his.
Second, the new trucks.
The TS proto is really something else. It took us about an hour to get used to it and find a setup on it that felt normal. Once we got it a little figured out though, we could really run with it. You can run much stiffer bushings due to the quick turn. As a result, you can still make the cones no problem, but you can also pump the living s#@! out of them! Great reports from everyone on these.
Once again, you have really come through Donald. Thank you so much. Also, I passed the stiffer Inteliflex on to rich who is ultra stoked. I can't ride it due to it's stiffness (I tried), but he loves it.
I can't wait to see what's next!
~Zak~

David, the GOG trucks are machined in limited production runs as a labour of love by our German brethren for the slalom community. Speak to Michael Stride as regards the when the latest run might be, he is in touch with Donald at Pavel who is chief co-ordinator of such matters. Alternatively get in touch with Heiko at Concretewave.de. Herr Schoeller is usually the first stop once a production run is once again available.
There are two styles of prototype adjustible front trucks that are currently under testing by euro riders. you may have seen these at Cadwell. Certainly worth waiting for. I know I have a few notes spare in case of emergency.
But then you're fast enough as you are. Stick with the trusty Trackers or get over to Dusseldorf for the GOG Race on the 12th April. Then you'll be able to ask the meisterteknicians personally!

Just bought my ticket to Colorado.
I hope the weather Gods treat us well!
I've been beefing up, and I don't mean muscle!, so maybe I'll be faster in the GS! ;) It is a gravity sport.... right???? Ha!
Can't wait to see Uncle Donny's new toys... I know he's been working like a dog to get everything ready to ship to the US.
That Zebra Speedboat is the sexiest board I have ever seen! The P-Camber and the new Iron Cross aren't bad either!
Hey Bark Bark..... can I talk you into another ride to the airport on Monday morning??? I'll buy the gas... it can't be as expensive as California.
Some stations are $3.99 a gallon now.. never thought I'd see the day.
My round trip ticket to Denver was cheaper than last year--- $149.00. Go figure.
Can't wait to see all the Coss guys!

Hey Gang,
I entered a foamie I made in the Silverfish board building contest. There were some pretty cool entries that I'm sure all slalom riders would love to see. Help a G.O.G. brother out!
Thanks,

I second what Cat said. We're all super stoked over here! Jason and I can't wait to try the new trucks! Also, I told Pirnack if he wants his boards, he's going to have to come skate. All of a sudden, I'm the Power Broker!
